There's a certain beauty
in sadness,
lonely echoes of
diminishing quiet
awakening the invisible soul
we keep only for ourselves
because it draws you inward
the same subtle way
watching sunset's
orange glow pierce
the smoke-filled sky
of a distant forest fire
paints your mood
in pastel melancholy.
Ode to Canada: written while marveling at the sun setting over the Missouri River in South Dakota through a smoky haze that’s drifted down from a Canadian forest fire.
